    His and hers! (Not) Bad vocabulary on my part. Stay away from the Leica store, especially if you’re on holiday. -b

    New Old Trinovids

    I remember reading an interview with the musician Neil Young, talking about guitars, and he mentioned that some guitars that he purchased, reminded him of the places he had been at that time... It could be a carved figurine, a guitar, ... a binocular. Of the 2 times I've visited a Leica store...

    Chuck, I get the impression that the Retrovid won't be the BEST tool for the job, but it surely will work fine within its spec. However, if you miss a few birds due to close focus limitations, or the speed of the focuser doesn't get you there on time, then you might wish you had something else...

    Because, boy are birders and binocular lovers entirely without competent optics at hand able to do the job. ;) I remain a bit skeptical of their charms, partly because I don't expect the eye relief will work for me. In addition, Dennis's pronouncements are as consistent and stable as a windsock...

    New Old Trinovids

    When stargazing I would often take off my specs to view, as many eyepieces did not have sufficient eye relief. Even the Canon IS 15 x 50 has 'poor' eye relief. I would put the specs back on to take field notes. But most things in the cosmos that I got my eyes on weren't going anywhere in a...
